JAXDAD, You are wrong and I can prove it. The length limit in every state in the US on Interstates is 65 feet for boat trailers. Tractor trailer don't even have length limits according to DOT. We were 70 ft long a with our Peterbilt and a 53 ft trailer and No one questioned us.

Wow, that's so much wrong info I'm not even sure where to start!!
First of all, the page you linked is titled "COMMERCIAL vehicle size and weight program", a motorhome, TT or 5'er is NOT a commercial vehicle.
There is NO FEDERAL length limit, minimum yes, but not maximum, on trailers, it's left up to individual STATES to do so, this is what I've been saying all along. States do NOT have the authority to impose their laws on another State, Florida can't tell Georgia what to do.
Finally, not getting questioned means nothing except nobody cared. By that logic if I drive 75 in a 65 zone and nobody stops me it MUST mean that the speed limit is not really 65.
